Just like its low-riding siblings, the Charger and Challenger, the Dodge Durango is an old vehicle. The third generation came out in 2010 using the same platform as the era's Mercedes ML and GL, so it is certainly not that important anymore, or is it?
You see, despite being very old, the current Dodge Durango is a dream machine. And no, we are not talking about the regular HEMI V8-powered vehicles, nor the ones packing the Pentastar V6, as you will have to upgrade to the SRT Hellcat version in order for it to achieve the dream car status.
Revived for the 2023 model year after a one-year hiatus, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat retains the same engine as the original. It is the beloved supercharged 6.2-liter V8 power unit, making 710 hp (720 ps/530 kW) and 645 lb-ft (875 Nm) of torque. The lump is coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission and drives all four wheels, enabling the 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) in 3.5 seconds, a 180 mph (290 kph) top speed, and a quarter-mile time of 11.5 seconds.
It immediately stands out next to the lesser variants thanks to the aggressive exterior design. It also packs large Brembo brakes, a launch control system, a dedicated suspension, and numerous goodies on the inside. Laguna leather seats, carbon fiber appointments, and a premium sound system are available for this super SUV, which has returned as a result of the Stellantis-owned brand listening to its clientele.

But some of those owners have gotten bored of theirs, so they have listed them for grabs. We just found another example that is worthy of your attention, as it has only 803 miles (1,292 km) on the odo and a single owner in the papers. It features a gray paint finish on the outside and a red leather interior, and it is basically a brand-new vehicle, one that's bound to entertain its future owner every time they abuse the right pedal.
There isn't anything else to report on that we haven't already mentioned, save for the asking price. The vendor is willing to let it go in exchange for $109,900. That is certainly not an exaggerated asking price, considering that the Durango SRT Hellcat used to be available from $94,605 for the 2023 model year.
So, do you think this super SUV is a good deal? If so, then you may want to click on this link that will take you to the listing on Garage Kept Motors. We won't judge you if you decide to make it yours. On the contrary, as if you do, then you'll have a great machine that's capable of challenging the exotic high-riding establishment to a straight-line duel all day, any day.
